If the ACK setting is too low then the ACK window will have expired and the returning

packet will be dropped, greatly lowering throughput. By having the ability to adjust the

ACK setting we can effectively optimize the throughput over long distance links.

The easiest way to enter AckTimeOut value is by entering the distance in “Operation

Mode -> Setup -> Distance”. The AirMax DUO Lite will then calculate and enter the

correct value for you. Press the “Apply” button to begin the calculation.

AckTimeOut Calculator: Users may also use the ACK calculator to determine the
AckTimeOut value before applying to AirMac DUO.

Enable Radio eXtended Range: XR is Atheros eXtended technology to increase

range. When XR is turned on, the radio can increase the receiver sensitivity greatly.

However, performance may be reduced significantly also. Use this mode only if you
can trade more distance for lower performance.

Enable privacy separator: Select the check box to prohibit data transmission
between client stations. This function is also known as “Client Isolation”.

Enable 802.1d STP: Enable the Spanning Tree Protocol to prevent forming a network
loop. This option is especially important for WDS Bridge mode.

Enable 802.11d: Also known as “Global Roaming”. 802.11d is a standard for use in
countries where systems using other standards in the 802.11 family are not allowed to

operate.

4.2.11 Access Control (ACL)

Operation Mode -> Setup -> Access Control

The AirMax DUO Lite allows you to define a list of MAC addresses that are allowed or

denied to access the wireless network. This function is available only for Access Point and

AP Router modes.
